Dr. Atallah Abu Subbah, Minister of prisoners' affairs, announced the martyrdom of prisoner Maysara Abu Hamdiya in Soroka hospital in occupied Beersheba, holding the Israeli government fully responsible for his death.
Abu Subbah said during a press conference at the government media office on Tuesday that the time has come to revolt against the Israeli practices and crimes against Palestinian prisoners, calling for a third intifada in response to the prisoner Abu Hamdiya's martyrdom.
The Captive Movement's martyrs’ number has reached 208 martyrs in Israeli jails, he added, warning against increasing the martyrs' number.
Abu Subbah called on the Arab League to take serious positions toward the prisoners' issue to save the rest of prisoners' lives.
At the same time, he called on media to expose the crimes of the occupation to the world, denouncing the absence of Palestinian prisoners' issue in some Arab media.
He explained that the prisoners in Israeli jails have declared a mass hunger strike mourning the captive Abu Hamdiya, demanding Palestinian Authority in Ramallah to stop the absurd negotiations with the Israeli occupation.
The martyr Abu Hamdiya had been suffering since his detention from throat cancer that has spread all over his body, as a result of the Israeli medical negligence.
